You may see occasional stutters while shaders are caching but nothing too major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vita3K<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"AYN Odin2 Vita3K PS Vita emulator\" class=\"wp-image-148099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Vita3K.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AYN Odin2 Vita3K PS Vita emulator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Vita emulator is also running amazingly well. We see in many games that had performance issues on the Anbernic and <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/brands\/retroid\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/brands\/retroid\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retroid<\/a> devices, that they are now running perfectly. There are some graphic and performance issues with games, but this is more down to emulator compatibility rather than the Odin2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yuzu<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"AYN Odin 2 Yuzu emulator\" class=\"wp-image-148114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-Yuzu.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AYN Odin 2 Yuzu emulator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>And now for the big one to finish the AYN Odin 2 review emulator performance tests, the Yuzu emulator! We can safely say that games do run at full speed with barely any noticeable lag. However, this is generally for the lower demanding games, mainly 2D or indie style games, but also for a few higher end 3D ones. Don&#8217;t expect all games to run this great, the latest first party titles for example will be running around half the speed it should be. Keep in mind this is still a very impressive result considering what we are running the emulator on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We finish our AYN Odin 2 review with our thoughts on this handheld. Let&#8217;s get straight to the point, this handheld is awesome if you have not already realised! It feels comfortable in your hands, just the right size with a great 6\u201d display. I did find the D-Pad and buttons a little loose feeling when compared to the original Odin. They felt more secure and not as \u2018rattly\u2019 sounding and smooth motion when rapidly pressed. I am not sure if the model we have is the final model or not, but I wouldn&#8217;t mind seeing them tightened up a little. This is in fact my only major complaint with the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Odin2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"AYN Odin2 DuckStation emulator\" class=\"wp-image-148129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-DuckStation.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AYN Odin2 DuckStation emulator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Android operating system is responsive and has the option of the Android launcher or the Odin launcher. Personally I prefer the Android Launcher but your tastes may vary. There&#8217;s a wealth of options for the Odin2 such as performance and fan control, HDMI output, screen mapping and more. I did find the LED lighting options lacking a little, how about adding some colour fades etc AYN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did not have a chance to test the battery life due to time constraints. But while recording all the review footage over a couple of hours, the battery went from 100% down to 70% so we are looking at roughly 6 or so hours battery life based on average usage which is very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real winner is the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AYN Odin2<\/a> performance. We knew when performing the benchmarks that the Odin2 was fast and we couldn&#8217;t wait to get the emulators up and running. We were definitely not disappointed! Running more recent console and handheld emulators with higher rendering resolutions is great, you can see and feel the difference. It does stumble a bit with the Yuzu emulator, but this is not a negative in any way, simply seeing games run at full speed is a&nbsp;great achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"AYN Odin 2 FIFA Mobile\" class=\"wp-image-148144\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;width:770px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYN-Odin-2-Review-FIFA-Mobile.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AYN Odin 2 FIFA Mobile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The GPD XP+ is dead, long live the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/ayn-odin-2\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AYN Odin2,<\/a> as the new king of Android handhelds!
